NAS's James Webb Space Telescope has captured Neptune’s glowing auroras in the best detail yet. Hints of auroras were first faintly detected in ultraviolet light during a flyby of the Voyager 2 spacecraft in 1989.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured a detailed image of Neptune's auroras, making it the first observatory to do so. Though Voyager 2 was the first spacecraft to fly by Neptune, detect its auroras in infrared, and snap a picture of the majestic ice giant, Webb's image offers direct, visible evidence of Neptune's vibrant light displays.

NASA’s James Webb telescope is offering a new look at Neptune’s aurora, leading to a new mystery involving the eighth planet from the sun.
